Work Text:
It’s another chilly day in Blackrock. The faction was ice-cold, freezing as usual. The alchemist, Decoy Deploy was doing their usual tasks, like any other demon in Blackrock, what else would they do after all? They can’t just sit around and wait for the shift to end, that would be boring.
Besides, they’ve got requests to work on for the others in Blackrock. DD sighed as he was waiting for the mixture to filter through so he could mix it with chemicals, grind other ingredients down for the mixture and a lot more for this complicated brew.
As DD was waiting around for the brew to filter, he was cleaning some of the dirty equipment to start another request with. He then started to zone out, letting his mind wander to some other topic. DD then sighed as his mind thought about Necrosapien Staff, great, somehow he was always on his mind. Ever since Necro joined, she had slowly wormed her way into DD’s mind, and made him just slightly ticked off, oh great now his face was flushing purple, just great! Just what he needed!
DD took a deep breath before focusing again, he almost fumbled the fragile beaker for swords sake. His mind was still focused on Necro of course. They couldn’t deny that Necro was pretty for sure, his long and sleek braided hair, that intricate mask on his face, even the way he dressed was pretty, even if it stood out from the rest of Blackrock, it’s something new at least. DD was curious about Necro too, she was mysterious, not too much is known about her and that just made DD want to know about her more. The only thing that ticked DD off about Necro was how fuckin’ irritating he was to them. Necro just somehow manages to get under his skin that no one else could.
Right as he was about to finish cleaning the used equipment to start said request while waiting for that one to filter, a robotic voice came through the speakers to inform every demon in Blackrock that it was now lunch. DD then gently set down the almost cleaned beaker and took off his gloves caked with chemicals before they head off to the cafeteria. That mixture will filter in time anyways.
Decoy Deploy made his way into the cafeteria, he was kind of hoping to see Necrosapien Staff there too, who knows? Maybe they could shit talk each other or something or perhaps.. more? DD stopped that train of thought when he stepped foot into the dining area. He then went through the motions of waiting in line, asking for his usual then looking for a table to sit at, maybe one with his friends or.. Hey, would you look at that. DD saw Necro sitting at a table all by his lonesome. So the alchemist cheerily made his way to the table where Necro was sitting and took a seat for himself.
“Hello there!~” DD happily started the conversation with just a hello, but the reply from Necro was oddly cold, “..you’re not helping the rumors you know?” Sure there was a slight teasing tone under there, but Necro’s voice was mostly cold saying that. That chilly response got a confused chuckle from DD as usually Necro was a lot more expressive with his voice than.. This, a stone cold voice just did not fit Necro in DD’s head! So DD tried to get a more reactive response out of her, “Aw come on, don’t be so cold with me! I’m your favorite person to shit talk, remember?” Still stone cold silence..
DD then sighed as he didn’t get a rise out of Necro, ok this isn’t helping the rumors ever since Necro stole his sworddamn lab coat! Like sure, DD knew it was for Necro to fit into Blackrock more, but that little incident started the rumors about them and Necro dating each other. DD thought it was nonsense since they both clearly hated each other right!? But Necro decided to feed into those rumors, and DD was left trying to shut it down. But here they are with a playful tone for Necro, while he was the one shutting them down and being stone cold with them, what happened?! What’s up with this?
So DD accepted the stone cold silence from Necro and went back to eating his food. But this feeling of tension between them, it never left the table they were at. DD swears that he could hear his coworkers whispering and some even staring at them, wondering what will happen next. Ugh, this was not fun for him. So he tried to distract himself by looking around!
Of course, his sight wandered and landed on Necrosapien Staff. Nothing in the room was just more interesting than him. Sigh, how dare you be so pretty. DD was eyeing Necro’s mask, seeing the details carved in and the scarring it also received. DD paused on eating his food when he saw some blush on the edges of Necro’s face, uncovered by his mask. Huh, that’s cute. DD could feel some heat on his face before Necro noticed he was staring and remarked on it, “Can you stop staring please? It’s a bit awkward.”
Oops, he was staring too long. “Ah, sorry about that haha!..” That finally sparked the fire in Necro, somewhat, “So, why were you staring?” DD then awkwardly replied, “Ah, I was just thinking about things..” then Necro teased, “Hmm? About what? Come on, spit it out!~” DD felt himself getting more flustered now, and in his clouded state of mind, he blurted out this, “..you’d be cuter without that mask.”
Record scratch. Oh shit. Both of them paused, then in a quick and messy manner, DD stood up and ran away to his lab. His face was blooming with color now, as he realized what he just said in the cafeteria, where a shit ton of his coworkers are. He’s never going to live that down now. Then when he finally reached his lab, he slammed the door shut and then flopped onto his chair before curling up into a little, flustered ball. How in the inpherno did he let that carelessly slip from his mouth for the whole of Blackrock to hear? Right towards Necro’s face as well, which makes it so much worse! DD gave a shaky sigh before going back to work on the potions, his appetite now spoiled too. DD just hopes that Necro won't come here..
On Necro’s side of the story, he was still sitting there, watching as a very flustered DD ran away to his lab, Necro was still in stunned silence as he processed what DD had just carelessly remarked about him. Cute. Necro did not expect to be called cute once in his life, especially by someone he hated, right? But right now Necro was looking over to everyone else in the room, some had stunned looks, some were laughing at what just happened and some were gossiping about what just happened. Necro really wanted to get out of here fast, this was just too awkward for him. So she stood up and started to walk away from the table, to where? Who knows, Necro just wanted to get away from it all.
As Necro was walking away from the dining area, he got curious. Where did DD run off to? She wanted to know where he was, so Necro went to the first place she thought of, DD’s lab. Necro was expecting that he’d have to break the door down or somehow break its code because DD usually kept it locked, but to his surprise the door was not locked at all and it opened fairly easily. When Necro opened the door, she saw DD working on the potions, but taking a closer look, it was clear that he was still insanely flustered from what had happened back there.
So after locking the lab door, Necro decided it was the perfect time to fuck with DD. “Well it seems like someone forgot to lock their door!~ But lucky for you, I locked it for you!” DD was caught off guard and almost dropped the glass bottle in his hand, he quickly but gently set it down before he uttered, “H-How did you-” but then DD realized with what Necro said, “Oh right. I forgot to lock the door..” DD then groaned, he just had to forget to lock the door, huh? DD tried his hardest to look away from Necrosapien, he doesn’t really feel like looking at him right now.
But that was just the beginning of Necro fucking with DD. Necro chuckled at the alchemist’s reaction before another playful remark got out of his mouth, “Aw come on, won’t you face your lovely rival?” DD retorted with a childish ‘shut up’. But Necro really wanted to see DD’s face! So Necro had to force it, sadly. He gently held one side of DD’s face, then once he got DD to face him, he cupped his face with his hands lovingly. Necro could really see how flustered DD was now, and Necro laughed at that, what an adorable sight to see.
Back to DD, he can’t really tell if Necro is fucking with him or this was genunine in a way. Like sure, this crush he had for the necromancer was growing, but he also hated him in a way no one else could hate him with, they both managed to get under each other’s skin in a way no one else could. But right now, DD was so flustered. Necro was holding his face in such a loving way, with his left hand tracing the burn scar on DD’s face. Fuck, DD wished he could just melt right now, sink into his touch right here, but god there was this voice that told that Necro was most likely fucking with him.
DD managed to break out of the grasp of a teasing Necro. DD needed some time to just cool down, his whole body stumbled and slumped against the wall farthest from Necro right now. DD felt so warm, horribly warm, like a fever that just feels correct for him. He was also heaving, every breath of Blackrock’s cold air was what DD needed to just feel normal and stabilize himself right in this moment. After some more heavy breaths, his face felt less warm now, he didn’t feel so light-headed and he felt like could actually speak without stumbling on his words.
It’s just the two of them, Decoy Deploy and Necrosapien Staff, in this lab now. The awkwardness in this room had reached an all-time high for DD. Who’s gonna make the first move? When will this end? DD sighed as he stopped slumping on the wall and with slightly shaky legs, he stood up straight, with the wall supporting him from falling over. DD then responded to Necro, “So you gonna fuck with me more or what?” knowing Necro, he was probably gonna fuck with him more. DD’s heart couldn’t take it, it was beating so fast, he also swore it skipped a beat too. DD waited for Necro’s next move, what was she gonna do next?
Necro chuckled before he teased DD again. “Mm, perhaps I’ll fuck with you more, you’re just so fun to mess with!” As Necro said that he walked closer to where DD was standing. “So, what are you gonna do darling?” Necro playfully said that as he pinned DD to the wall that was supporting him with her own body. Now DD was sandwiched between the wall and Necro, who was currently pressing on them with his body. Necro could feel how fast DD’s heart was beating against his chest, how warm his breath was and how flustered DD was too. Perfect.
Necro let himself ramble on to DD, calling him sweet pet names, while letting his hands caress their body. They felt so warm all over, a contrast to Blackrock’s piercing cold air. DD knew that Necro was fucking with him, but they couldn’t help but think that some part of this was genuine. After all, Necro was blushing too, he was probably flushed under that mask too.. But currently, DD wanted out of this, he was slowly becoming a flustered mess from all of this, and they can’t take anymore of this.
Then his head formed an idea to get back at Necro for all of his teasing, a kiss. A simple yet damning action. That would shut Necro up for good and allow DD to wriggle out of being sandwiched against the wall too. But a kiss? He felt like it was wrong but also so right at the same time. So DD simply steeled his nerves and allowed his hands to hold Necro’s face. Necro’s body stopped, what was DD doing?
What Necrosapien Staff didn’t expect was for Decoy Deploy to kiss him.
After a kiss that felt so wrong, yet so right. A kiss that lasted only a few seconds but felt like eternity to the duo. The alchemist then uttered, “..will you please shut your mouth now?..” he allowed his hands to hold a very flustered Necro. This time, DD was holding Necro in place, he was not going to get away so quickly.
DD softly chuckled as he heard Necro stutter and stumble on his words this time. Necro was pretty, yes, but in this moment right now, she was adorable, stupidly adorable. Both of them couldn’t look each other in the face now. Necro had never expected DD to kiss him, and DD had never expected that their first kiss would be a shut up kiss. But the fact that their first kiss turned out like this? It felt oddly right that it would turn out like this.
DD then let go of Necro after holding him for just a few more seconds. Necro stumbled back before asking DD one simple question, “..were you fucking with me?” and DD shook his head, that kiss was genuine. After Necro realized that DD was in fact, not fucking with him he angrily muttered that he was out of here, but not before taking one of DD’s spare lab coats and unlocking the door. Decoy Deploy simply waved goodbye to Necrosapien Staff before locking the door behind him. The both of them went on their separate paths for the day.
The both couldn’t hide the fact that their faces were flushed now. With Necro’s being a strong muted blue and DD’s being a royal purple. Oh well, the both of them tried to get what just happened out of their heads while they went off doing their own things. DD had started to work on that complicated request again, while Necro went back to the medical bay to see if any more demons needed healing. But the both of them couldn’t help but think,
‘What an awkward first kiss.’
Now it was a couple of weeks after the incident at the lab.
Both of them had promised to not speak about it, later in the day, even when their coworkers were asking what had happened back at the lab, the both of them hadn’t come out in a while after all, and Necro had rushed out with DD’s lab coat and a very flushed face. Their coworkers knew that something had happened between them, but they wanted to hear what truly happened from either of them. But the both of them didn’t cave in and told their coworkers what really happened.
In their idle moments, they couldn’t help but think back to what happened, that moment felt so intimate, even if was fucking with eachother at first.
For DD, it was the way that Necro had caressed his body that got him. His hands felt so soft and warm, his touch felt like lightning coursing through him in the best way possible. The way that his hands lingered on parts of his body. He couldn’t get over it, he needed more of Necro’s touch. He so desperately wanted it, but he restrained himself. He can’t just come up to Necro and just hug him and act all loving and stuff, he wasn’t even sure if Necro wanted that.
For Necro, she had been holding onto DD’s lab coat for a little longer than usual, after all, it smelled like him and the floral perfume he wears. Sigh, any floral scent just reminded Necro of DD, that sworddamned perfume, can’t even smell flowers without being reminded of him. But at least his lab coat is comfy, nice and soft, smells good too with the perfume on there. Ugh, Necro kind of wanted more of this, more of this nice, soft and floral scent. This combination of things just made Necro feel at ease for just a while.
Whenever the both of them would encounter each other, they simply gave a brief greeting to each other before going their separate ways. They shit talk each other more often now, but it’s more brief too. It was simply the awkwardness that crept in due to the incident cutting their interactions short.
They both had also noticed their horns, the color at the tips were fading into each other’s colors. For DD, his horns at the tips had started to show a muted blue, complimented well by the purple. For Necro, vice versa, her horns at the tips were now a soft purple instead of the pale blue. Oh great, they really can’t hide that now.
It was another day in Blackrock, cold and freezing as usual. Necrosapien Staff was wearing DD’s lab coat, it was once a way to fit into Blackrock, but now it was a comfort for him. But it was time, even if it was a spare lab coat, Necro had to give it back. So off he went to the lab to put it back in its spot. But unusually, Decoy Deploy was there too. Usually he was away when Necro put his spare coat back, but this time he was here too.
Was fate playing a cruel joke on him? Why did this have to happen now? Necro’s thoughts were paused when DD gave a simple greeting, “Hey there Necro.” before giving Necro a warm smile. That stupid, yet cute smile made Necro’s heart beat faster. Necro sighed before taking off the labcoat, yet his hands hesitated, Necro did really want to keep it for longer, it just felt so nice.. But he had to return it. So with a bit more force this time, he shoved the labcoat in DD’s hands. A small ‘ah’ was the reaction DD gave.
Necro then slowly started to shuffle his way out, why did his legs move so slowly? He wanted to run but he shuffled away instead. Then another impulsive reaction from DD happened. He ran over to Necro and gave a strong hug.
DD finally got what he wanted, more of Necrosapien. He couldn’t let this moment slip away from him! Necro was standing right there in his lab, it was just the two of them, so DD had to use that opportunity now. He finally had Necro where he wanted him, right in his arms. DD then uttered, “I finally have right where I want you to be.. In my arms.” he said in such a loving tone. Necro felt so warm and soft to him.
Necro then locked the door, since it was getting intimate again, and if the door wasn’t locked and someone had walked in, no way in hell were they gonna live that down. But right now, right here, Necro let himself be lost in the alchemist’s touch. Then Necro remarked, “Why did you do that?” in a playful tone.
DD laughed before giving his response to Necro, “..cause I wanted to hug you. I wanted more of you.. Selfish, huh?” his voice went soft at the last part. Necro then responded to DD, “Well guess what? I have something selfish I want from you too.” “Hmm? What is it?” Necro then got a little nervous before she spoke up, “..I want more of that kiss.” DD looked surprised and flustered then muttered, “..really?” Necro then stated, “Yeah. I want more of it.. I need more of it actually,” Necro paused before finishing the sentence, “..so do you want to give me more?~”
DD responded to Necro’s words with a kiss, the answer was yes, DD wanted to give Necro more. Necro gave a kiss in kind. After a few more kisses, it had escalated into a full-on makeout session, sure it was a little sloppy but it was what both of them wanted. Here and now, their hands and legs were intertwined with each other, the bodies mere centimeters from each other. This moment was so intimate for them, but they both reveled in it. After a few minutes, they pulled away for good, both had a lingering taste of the other in their mouth and both of their faces blooming with their respective colors.
DD then broke the tension with a playful remark, “..thank goodness the lab is soundproof, heh.” Necro snickered at the remark. After a moment, Necro then teased, “So.. are we a thing now?” DD laughed before telling Necro, “only to us.” The two then parted away from each other.
DD gave a spare key to his lab over to Necro, just in case he wanted to visit anytime! Necro then unlocked the door to exit then locked the door behind him, while DD went back to his seat. Both of them were blushing with a smile on their face.
They’ll tell the others soon enough, but for now, it’s just the two of them.
